First Nonprofit Group (FNG) is excited to welcome Regional Sales Director Megan Cauthorn to our team! Working out of the Portland office, Megan will manage the State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) programs for the Western region, which includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Northern California.
Megan learned about the position through a friend and AmTrust representative who approached her and thought she would be an outstanding fit for the position. Bringing over 10 years of sales experience to our team, Megan’s background includes working directly with nonprofit organizations and focusing on their fundraising efforts. Her family owns a vineyard that hosts a yearly fundraiser supporting the Oregon Food Bank, and this year alone she increased contributions by over 200%!
Megan is most excited about excelling with First Nonprofit and assisting nonprofit organizations in her region save money on their state unemployment cost by offering clients more efficient and secure alternatives to covering their SUI taxes. She also mentioned that she is excited about the travel aspect of the job. “I love traveling, so this is a great position for me!” she noted.

Megan is originally from the West coast, growing up in Portland, Oregon, and attending school at Washington State University where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Strategic Communications. Outside of the office, Megan enjoys the outdoors and loves to surf. The Oregon coast is her location of choice when it comes to riding waves, but she also takes a yearly trip to Oahu to enjoy the surfing and beautiful coast there in Hawaii!

We first started using First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program when we were a small startup nonprofit. We didn’t have an HR department and needed expertise in the event that an unemployment claim was made. We knew we were eligible to be a reimbursing employer, but weren’t sure how to navigate that process. They made it easy to set things up, plan for, and then manage claims when they came at a very reasonable cost. The amount of time and stress they’ve saved us dealing with all this has been worth way more than the cost. We’ve now grown to a large nonprofit and do have an HR department but have no plans to stop using their services. I highly recommend them to every nonprofit I come into contact with!
Throughout our membership in the Unemployment Savings Program, First Nonprofit understood our demands, community dynamics, and the importance of seamless services; that allowed us to serve our constituents better.
Because INCS advocates for the operating conditions that allow charter public schools to provide high quality public education, partnering with First Nonprofit was an easy decision. First Nonprofit’s unemployment programs provide our member schools two operating elements crucial to their ability to provide high quality public education: savings and budget certainty. Capable, committed teachers are the key to student success. By participating in the unemployment insurance savings plan, charter public schools gain peace of mind and are able to invest more money in their teachers.
It has been our sincere pleasure to maintain a strong, vibrant business partnership with First Nonprofit. We greatly admire their strong industry knowledge, technical expertise, constant professionalism, knowledgeable and dedicated staff. They are always extremely responsive, personable and provide us with the necessary guidance and recommendations on a numerous variety of employment scenarios.
NYCON members who use First Nonprofit’s programs enjoy enduring savings and improved efficiency. Our association knows that success, because from the beginning, we achieved the same great benefits.

Visually Impaired Preschool Services has been a client of First Non-Profit since it was first offered as a benefit of VisionServe Alliance. We completed a thorough evaluation of cash savings to our agency before taking advantage of this wonderful benefit and it has been a very wise decision. Our experience with the processes from accounting to claims have been professional, expeditious and easy.
Luckily for us, our interactions regarding any issues with staffing has been very minimal! I can say that all other interactions with regards to billing, 941 reporting, etc. have been extremely pleasant, accommodating and easy to work with. Kim Ghanayem is always prompt, professional and friendly. Thank you so much!
First Nonprofit has been easy to work with and makes the administrative process easier and smoother. We enjoy working with you.
